A vid of the GTR here: gt-r Not sure how much the finished article will look like this but I'm loving the front and arches but not keen on the rear. Still the only new car coming out that I would drive instead of a Supra though.

My mates Dad swears by LPG, he has a Toyota Harrier which is LPG (I've drove this) and he used to have a Lexus GS300 which was LPG too. He's just bought an Aristo which he will be converting to LPG, when he does I will have a drive to see what the difference is like. He reckons his GS300 was just as quick when he went LPG but who knows? I drove the Harrier for a weekend once and it was piss slow but had nothing to compare it to.

Yeah give her a call, this could be like Pneumoni's thread all over again with running commentary! -
Scoobynet is def the most popular but as you'd expect a lot of chav dickheads on there. I used to post on there when I once considered a Scooby, totally different atmosphere to over here. You appreciate the members in this club a lot moe after slumming it over on Scoobynet.

Sorry mate, couldn't tell from your garage. 420 ay? That's a real good figure, maybe worth a bit more then. Who knows? All you can go is put it up for sale for what you think and see what response you get. If you do decide to sell, good luck with the sale! Somebody will get one hell of nice car.

Gaz your Supe has got to be one of the nicest Supra's I've seen, absolutely beautiful. That said I don't think it's worth £18k (even tho it should be), you can buy a good single for that much. A lot of the work is cosmetic and has it even been decatted? What kind of power are you putting out? At the end of the day it's a 12 year old auto and they're going for as little as £6k now. I'd def sell off some of the parts to recoup your outlay. I think as it is you'd get around £12k, but that's totally my opinion of course.

Going on a Dyno at the end of the month but my car is still limited to 120mph. Do I need to get it delimited?
-
I have four settings on my Blitz BC too and it's always set to 1.2bar. Maybe I'll change when the colder weather comes but not changed it so far. If I want to save fuel or take it easy I just drive slower and off boost.

I must have had a slow puncture on one of my back wheels and it was pretty low yesterday. I totally forgot about it and booted the car, then the tire went really flat and it was a couple miles before I could get any air into it. Since I blew it up I get a judder from the wheel that feels like a buckle. Could it be my alloy that's buckled or just my tire that's fooked?

I guess we'll never know tbh. You ask anyone who the best is and they'll say their own. Do you think a yank would ever admit the SAS are better than Delta Force? or vice versa for that matter? Like already said, the best are probably the ones with the best toys/resources.

Try tapping the spiders web or throwing a piece of leaf in there, he'll come running out from behind the mirror in a split second thinking it's food. Then you can squish him!

I dunno, I think this is a fair rule. I know what you're saying but by putting that plate on his car your bro makes it looks newer than it is - and worth more for that matter. I know it's still a 94 but an M reg is worth more the an L. If it weren't for this rule everybody would be driving round with a 56 plate on their car

A few of my mates are going in December for six months to work in a ski resort. They can get their work visa's no problem as they're all at uni and this is classed as a gap year. Me on the other hand aint at Uni, is it still possible for me to go? Tried looking around on the net but no answers there. Anyone worked out there before?
-
The low noise levels inside the Supra always disguise how fast you're going too. Most cars scream their bollox off at 100 where as the Sup feels like it's idling. This can always be a bit misleading. Go drive a BPU Sup to see what they can do. Also get the owner to take you out as they'd be more used to the box (If it's an auto/tiptronic etc) Cool write up btw.

Highly recommended Alloy Refurb/Repair place West Midlands
Conrad replied to Sheefa's topic in Supra Chat
Cheers mate, would loved to have come Sunday but away for weekend. Me and a few mates want our cars Dyno'd but Thor is fully booked on Saturdays for at least a month. Just on line to Weston now to see if they can fit us in. -
Ok, last daft question now. Promise So when Toyota quote 330bhp for the Sup are they quoting flywheel figure or RWHP figure?
-
Do they calculate the figure at the fly too? And am I right in thinking the figure at the fly is the figure most people quote as it's the higher one? I can never remember which is which/

Burna, sorry bit of thread hijack but where you going for the RR? -

Excellent, lets hope the results are good. I've got badly scuffed alloys all round on my car and was needing somewhere to go. There's A1 wheels in Wton but they're expensive. Let me know how you get on -
Ok, bare with me as I've never took my car on a dyno and not entirely sure what I'm on about! Hence why I'm asking here and not ringing Thor Me and a few mates want to take our cars on a dyno but with me being auto I'm limited to where I can go. We was going to go to Thor but a mate of mine was unsure. After seeing Thor's website he was wondering a few things. First of all do we have to take our wheels off? And secondly will you get both your figure at the fly and figure at the hub?

Think I wont be looking at more than I already have then. My house is out in the sticks, plus Cable was never installed down our road (country lane). Thinking about it though, when we moved in we had no BT line. BT came out and literally dug half a mile of road up from a BT antenna that's down our road (It kinda looks like a pylon) I wonder if that has an exchange? I know when I asked BT why they didn't just us the existing lines our neighbours use and they said the signal was rubbish. I'll just wait on Sky me thinks.

Children Of Men is based on a novel by PD James. I'm really looking forward to seeing it, how have you seen this already btw Ian? I really like Clive Owen, thought he was shit in King Arthur and Sin City but a must see in Closer! Anyone who hasn't seen the trailer go check it out at http://www.empireonline.com/futurefilms/film.asp?id=11091
-
So it's the actual lines and not the exchange??? Anyone know if Sky are using BT's lines? I'm sure I read somewhere they are installing their own network. I need more than 2mb!!!!
-
I'm currently with Wanadoo/Orange on their top plan but can only have a max of 2mb download speed. I've tried Sky as they can do 16mb but that's not available to me yet. I've tried a few other companies that offer more than 2mb but they say they cant do it. Why is this? How come some people can have faster speeds than others? I did ask one sales guy and he mumbled somthing about my telephone line being 5km from exchange??? Does anyone know what exactly I'm waiting on for our area to get better speeds?

I'm with Red to an extent, although I'd say 1k not 2k! My aunty bought an unknown brand LCD from Currys and had to take it back 3 times to be replaced for one reason or another. In the end she bought a Samsung and has had no problems since. For cheap but brand name TV's check out this link http://www.clearance-comet.co.uk/ Ebay style bidding for Comet stock that is ex display, refurbed, cosmetically damaged etc. Some real good deals to be had.
